What is a Business Strategy for Startups?
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on September 10, 2023, 4:46 PM
A business strategy is a set of commitments and blueprints that a company uses to gain a competitive advantage in the market. The strategy is crucial to a company's success and is needed before any goods or services are produced or delivered.
According to Tekedia, a business strategy for startups involves creating a plan of action that outlines how a new business will achieve its goals and objectives. The business model is the design of how a business will solve market frictions in order to unlock value. The model answers the “How” within a niche set by Strategy.
The job of a leader is to decide on a model and then execute it.
